Women In Response to HIV/AIDS & Drug Addiction

To End GBV, we must allow for conversations, however uncomfortable they may be! Otherwise we leave out those that need to be transformed! Hence our running project, the Men Against Violence Initiative. Thanks @YouthRISE for support! #16Days @INPUD @VOCALKenya @WHRINetwork

@moneyacademyKE I would encourage students not to take helb loans. You'll thank me later

The war on drugs has failed. Communities suffer while unjust laws criminalize, stigmatize & silence. We choose dignity. #DrugPolicyReform

Every day, is Women's Day. Still, we must remind ourselves of how far we have come and the limitless potential we carry to effect positive change for humankind! #InspireInclusion #AccelerateProgress @NextgenlawyersK @WHRINetwork @GlobalFundWomen @UN_Women

🧵International Overdose Awareness Day (#IOAD) is a solemn reminder of the overwhelming amount of people we have lost to overdose, & one life lost is one too many. Today & every day, we honor all those no longer with us & hold our grieving communities in our hearts.

On #IOAD23 we not only recognise, but honour, those who have made themselves seen and heard in the global fight against the #warondrugs. Remembering drug user activists #IDURD23 #EndOverdose

One step.. one thousand miles. Building stronger communities for harm reduction calls for unity and equity. On this International Overdose Awareness Day, we introduce the official Network of Women who use drugs in Kenya! @HRInews @INPUD @kpc_kenya @WHRINetwork @NextgenlawyersK
